The Rising Son

Rising Son It Pays to Advertise in the Rising Son for it Reaches More Homes of Colored People than any other Paper in the State. VOLUME X. MR. T. B. CARTER. The subject of this sketch is Thompson Browning Carter, born in Boone county, Mo., March, 1856, A. D. Like many thousands of his race was born under the "Iron Hand." When his master at the close of the war told him he was free he took to himself wings and flew away to the city of Columbia and there became a bank employee. He held this position for four years. A better place with wider possibilities was his watchword, therefore, he became an employee at the State university. Filled that place with credit until the First National bank at Gainsville, Texas, demanded his services at a higher salary, but like all true and tried Missourians he was compelled to return to her soil. He was appointed custodian of the University College of Medicine of Missouri at Kansas City which position he filled with credit for thirteen years. A change in the institution naturally changed his fortune so he cast his lot with the U. S. Customs and three years later was appointed JOHN H. BURKE one of the custodians of the states property located at Jefferson City which position he now holds. There were many applicants for this position but Attorney General H. S. Hadley appointed him and he is filling the place with credit and is giving perfect satisfaction to all concerned. Mr. Carter feels that he owes much to Gen. Hadley. We think a great deal of Dr. Carter and his amiable wife, Mrs. Carter, who was Miss Winnie Crosby. She is a great help to Mr. Carter in his efforts to rise above the tide, the wind and the gale. Mrs. Carter has a very beautiful home in Kansas City at 1210 Highland avenue. May his life be as useful in the future as it has been in the past. Mr. Carter is also a prominent Mason as well as a prominent and tireless worker in Allen chapel A. M. E. church of Kansas City. EXCELSIOR SPRINGS ITEMS. Thanksgiving at the Springs will be celebrated with the usual church services and in addition the colored Baptist church will give a 'possum supper.

Good accommodation may be found at the following places: Mrs. Fred Elllett, Mrs. S. W. King, Mrs. H. J. Harris and several others. Visit the town of health and help the church. Begueatha Money and Anatomy. General Isaac J. Wistar, founder and patron of the Wistar institute of anatomy and biology at the University of Pennsylvania, who died, not only leaves the greater part of his estate of $2,000,000 to that institution, but also bequeaths to it his right arm and brain to aid the cause of anatomical research.

An editor sweat and fumed and swore he searched the office o'er and o'er And stole his instrument of might, And mayhap pawned it for a meal. He cried aloud in sore dismay: "A hundred plunks I'll give today To he who brings my weapon home!" And every man who heard the bribe Searched himself and kindred tribe, And dug his sleuthy Sherlock dome. They brought a hundred pens to him, And carried pencils old and grim, But none appeased his gravest fears. But by and by the office boy.

Life on the Water On all the great lakes of China are found floating islands, which are enormous rafts of bamboo, overladd with earth, and upholding above the surface of the water pretty houses and gardens. They are, in fact, aquatic farms, bearing crops of rice and vegetables, large saills being attached to the dwelling house as well as to each corner of the island whenever it is desired to move about. After gathering a crop of grain or garden truck from the surface of the lake, the floatfarmer casts his net into the water and from their depths brings up a supply of fish for his family. Odora of the Mountains. If you notice a strong spicy and "woodsy" odor about any woman these days, do not imagine that she has adopted a new perfume. It is balsam that you smell, for the lady has just returned from the Adirondacks and brought with her a balsam pillow as a souvenir of her stay in the mountains. Of course she jammed the pillow into a corner of her trunk when she packed up to come home, and equally, of course, the strong smell of balsam permeated everything. It is as much a mark of the returning vacationist as is the coat of tan.—New York Press.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. The Missouri State Dairy association held its annual meeting in Jefferson City, November 15-17, inclusive. The faculty and students by invitation attended the Wednesday evening session and listened with much pleasure to the address of the occasion on the "American Queen," by Mrs. N. K. Jones of Kalamazoo, Michigan, and formerly of the faculty of Manhattan Agricultural college, Kansas. The lecture was a rare treat. Mrs. Jones emphasized the value of domestic science, homemaking or household economics, as a part of the school curriculum; coming so soon after the discussion of "The American Boy," it gave opportunity to compare and otherwise investigate both sides of a great subject—the education of the boy and of the girl for the duties of life. November 18 at Sportman's Park in Kansas City, Lincoln Institute Tigers defeated the Kansas University team with a score of 11 to 0. The excellent playing of the Lincoln Institute boys, their knowledge of technicalities, their skill, etc., received hearty commendation from all sides. Dr. Allen and several members of the faculty with a number of the young lady students accompanied the team to Kansas City and the audience on the occasion was made up of representatives citizens, automobiles, carriages, etc., were in evidence, all going to show that th Negro is rapidly adopting himself to Anglo-Saxon civilization.

Time Would Have Allayed Suspicion. Madam Gossip compelled a dear young bride of three months, at Greeley, Colo., to show her marriage certificate before the naughty old tongue would cease to wag.

A curious discovery has been made in the course of some excavations that have been in progress in St. Martin de Re, in France. The excavators unearthed trenches in which lay skeletons which were presumably those of the citizens who fell fighting there in defending the town against the English in 1627. Among the skeletons was found a spherical iron bomb containing a most black powder, which was found to consist of about a third of nitre, a third of carbon, and a fifth of sulphur, the remainder being iron oxide derived from the rusting of the iron shell.

HEN WILSON IN TROUBLE. scandal Disturbs Serenity of Inhabitants of Pinnoville It is rumored on reiche authority that Hen Wilson has left his wife again owing to some marital trouble between them. This is not the first time Hen and Sary Ann have had marital trouble. The last time before this Sary Ann struck it with a rolling pin above the left eye and he went out of the house and did not return for several weeks. Some says he went to the Co. seat and spent most of his time in a hospital. Finally he returned some a sadder and wiser man and him and Sary Ann made up again and started out together to try to live a different life with the love of peace perched above their heartstone, as you might say. But now ruction swift and terrible has broken out in their midst again. We got this straight or we wouldn't say anything about it in print. Mrs. Wilson herself told Mrs. Caroline Hooper that Hen had left home fol- owed by all the cooking utensils in the kitchen. Mrs. Hooper told it to Ben Wade's wife and Ben Wade's wife old it to Mrs. Widow Henderson who old us. Sary Ann has a quick temper and when she gets mad there seems to be nothing else to do but for Hen to dis out for a while and wait until the clouds roll by. What the trouble was this time was that Hen went right into the house like a durn fool and set his self down on a new sofa pillow which Mrs. Wilson had just finished. Mrs Wilson stated that Hen might think that sofa pillows were made to sit on but he was mistaken. Hen's where abouts is at present unknown—"Bing ville Bille Items" in the Boston Post ARTIST MET HER IDOL. John Ruskin's Self Introduction to His Adrians The London Outlook tells a pretty story of the late John Ruskin, artist author, reformer, which snows that courtyard and chivalric gentleman and great writer in a playful mood: Mr. Ruskin was taking a morning walk down the road just in front of Brantwood, when he saw a lady sent on a campstool making a sketch of the house, and, with a courteous grace which was intensely his own, he addressed her, inquiring her reason for choosing the house in question for her subject. "It is the house of the famous John Ruskin," she frankly asked. "Have you met Ruskin?" she was asked. "No, indeed," she replied. "If I had I would have deemed it one of the greatest privileges of my life." "Then, madam, if you care to follow me, I will show him to you." In a twinkling the stool and easel were packed up and the artist eagerly followed the guide. To her surprise and gratification, he led her up to the house, and entering, hade his guest follow, which she readily did. On marched the stranger into the drawing room; then, placing his back to the fireplace, a familiar attitude, he explained, to the amazement of his companion: "Now, what do you think of Ruskin?" From "The Giaour" He who hath heath him over the dead Ere the first day of Death is fled. The first dark day of Nothingness, Fias the Damp of Distress, Before Death's effacingness.

There is no study that will prove more profitable to the farmer than the study of soils. Everywhere agriculturists are coming to realize the importance of this study and are giving to it the attention that it deserves. In nearly every state in the Union the state government has taken up the matter as has also the National Government. When the soil survey work of the United States Government was begun on its present large scale there were many who believed that this extension of money was in part unnecessary. They could not see how the mere knowing about the soils should improve its condition. They could not see why drawing maps of states and representing thereon the various kinds of soils could prove of any financial value to the agriculturists of such states. It was only after a year's work and after the soil survey of some states had been partly completed that the real results began to be seen. The first states in which the work has been partly completed is Illinois. Investigations of the different soil surveys has brought to light the condition of the soils in whole counties, and has shown what is needed in these soils to make them valuable. This could not be foreseen by the critics of the soil surveys. The knowing of the condition of the soils has resulted in the finding out of a way to greatly increase their value. The soil survey in Illinois has demonstrated the fact that there are millions of acres of land only partly productive because of the large amount of acid in the soil. Having learned this fact it was an easy matter for the scientists to find a remedy. They know that it merely requires an application of time to make these soils double in value. The increased value of Illinois soils alone, due to this discovery, and the application of a remedy, will be greater than the entire expense of all soil surveys and soil studies in the United States. Weston Sinclair. Buffalo Co. Wis. Film Moisture. Film moisture is the moisture in the soil that just surrounds each particle of sand or soil with a thin coat of water. The film around one particle touches the films of adjacent particles. The attraction of the particle draws the film tight around it and each new particle above that one does the same. When a film of water touches a soil particle above it that dry particle draws the water with great force to cover itself. The film of water is drawn from the soil particle below, but in turn pulls up the next particle film below it, or, rather, the soil particle does that by its attraction. So the water films work up toward the surface of the ground. We call that capillary attraction. When the films covering the particles reach the surface of the soil they become exposed to the air and the moisture on the top of the film is evaporated or turned into gas. The films below push up to supply the need caused by the vacancy in a part of the water film collection. When these films are disturbed by the cultivator the upward movement of the film moisture is stopped till the soil particles have settled back in place and new films have worked around the soil particles once more brought into touch with the film water below. This is why we cultivate ground to prevent the loss of soil water. Let us hope that heaven is a place where the suburbs are not in the hands of real estate agents.

The total indifference manifested by the Pompadour to the dictates of Dame Fashion is a thing which causes the hairdresser and their various as- sociated endeavors to sit up in amaze- ment. Two or three years ago the domineering dame put it forth as a finality that not only was the pompa- dour to go, but that tt had already started But the pompadour didn’t go. The same declaration has been made at every colffeurs’ convention since then, but still the pompadour remains, Now once more the order for its. re- moval has gone forth, “but,” says a fashionable hairdresser, “It will not budge. Every now and then a woman who thinks she doesn’t look well in pompadour takes the report of {ts passing away as a license to try some- thing else, but be it ‘coronet’ or ‘Mary Mannering’ curl, or what not, she soon discards it for the old high front.

The book is not only melancholy, but also pesst- mistic, written by the wealthiest, wis- est man of anctent times. Without tak- ing the time to review the history of King Solomon, the acknowledged au- thor of these words, we may say that probably no man was ever more favor- ably circumstanced for testing the power of mere earthly things to confer happiness on the soul. He had great wealth, position, power, learning, fame—all those things ordt- narily regarded as essential to-happt- ness. And yet he describes himself as the unhappiest of mortals. The world came to him with its best, and he knew and appreciated, too, what was best In that which he sought, and yet he cried “Vanity!” Nor are we to understand that the things to which he gave himself with such passionate devotion were all im- proper or useless, Some of them were highly improper, but others, in thelr own place, were of great importance and value. To be rich, to be learned, to be powerful, were in themselves am: bitions not to be ignored. His quest for happiness in itself was not to be despised. His passion for pleasure was wholly legitimate, but the principle or ‘method of its gratification was errone- ous; consequently he was doomed to disappointment. Solomon failed to realize that happt- ness {s a thing of the soul and that the soul is infinitely greater than any or all of the things of the world and car ries @ potency of seemingly infinite de velopment. Toward the end of his checkered and embittered career he realized his mistake and made the dis covery that the spiritual transcends the material; that only as far as the human soul seeks to live in the fear— which really means the favor—of God and keeps His commandments can the soul possess triumphant peace and overflowing joy. ‘The closing words of the foregoing paragraph are among the tritest utter ances of the modern preacher. But they need to be repeated over and over again to the weary, disappointed, de Jected multitudes of pleasure seekers of our day. As old Froissart sald, we take our pleasures too sadly, aye, toc ignorantly.

The trou ble with Solomon and all other mer who have sought happiness as he di has been thelr failure to enter thi clearer, upper region, where all lowe: pleasures are sublimated into holier diviner forms. Other men have beet stripped of every outer good, of ever; comfort of the body and of every en Joyment of the senses, but they hay entered into Joys so sublime, so tran scendent, that all other pleasures be came insignificant in comparison.— Rev. William C. Stinson, D. D. Sorrow’s Brighter Side, Only the Father in heaven knows all the “why of suffering.” But He Is ready to give glimpses of its brighter side to those whom He trusts and honors in His call to suffering, even while the sorrow is heavy upon them, {f they will let Him do so. A mother who had been intrusted alone with the training of her four boys after their father had been taken home, and who had seen the oldest son lay down his life in service for others, was cailed upon to give up still another son to special service above. To friends, the sorrow seemed crushing; ye: b- cause the mother herself was looking tor the brighter side, she could see what they could not, “Why, I oughtn’t to com: plain,” she said bravely, a few days after her loss; “John has two of his boys with him now, and I have two with me.” Only the chastening of suffering could have brought out that perfume from the crushed flower. But {t 1s God's loving purpose that every amMicted child of His shall bring earth ‘a ittle nearer to heaven. | Citak) Sieabhen (Olin Justice Mterally means loyalty to the “Just,” the right, and the right is a direct path leading straight to the Btanderd of spiritual values, Justice is a coin that carries the ring of truth. To tell the truth, to live the trath, to be the truth, to give sixteen ounces to the pound, to do unto others as we would that others do unto us—this fe to be just. Justice is the genius of the Golden Rule. The man who lives on the principle, How would I have my fellow-men treat me?—he has caught the spirit of justice. As well undertake to construct a table of logarithms on two and two make five as to build up a permanent business ‘on Injustice. No contractor can ignore the plumb line. No merchant can ignore the plumb line. The Golden Rule fs the plumb line. The moment we use a loaded glove or strike below the belt we are unjust. Justice, like the plumb line, has the universe on its side. Injustice has all heaven arrayed against it. “An honest man’s the noblest work of God,” and this is the first requirement which the law of heaven lays down.—Malcolm J. Me: Leod. Gaitens @isaih ‘We are saved by trust; we are sanc- tifled by trust; we are satisfled by trust. “Perfect trust casteth out all fear.” God's peace is the peace of final conquest. And the victory comes from companionship, for this {t is that trust brings. Some one to bear the burden with us! Some one to weep with us! Some strong arm to fight the tempter for us! It {s not “Do not be troubled, hope,” for hope may be deferred and far away. Nor is it, “Do not be troubled, love,” for oft: times love leaves a pain in the heart; but “Do not be troubled, trust.” How simple a thing, then, are our tears, but how equally simple is the anti- dote! The ehild understands both Both are natural as breathing. So easily do the tears start down the lit tle face, but straightway the mother kisses them away, while meantime the little eyes look up and the Httle arms clasp the neck in sweet and full relt ance. It feels the mother's sympathy, her partnership, her presence. The consciousness that she shares the heartache calms and gheers, “As one whom his mother comforteth, so will 1 comfort you.” Verily the child is ont teacher—Malcolm J. McLeod, Patient Trust. To trust in spite of the look of be ing forgotten, to keep crying out inte the vast whence comes no voice, and where seems no hearing; to struggle after light, where {s no glimmer te guide; at every turn to find a doorlesa wall, yet ever seek a door; to see the machinery of the world pauseless, grinding on as if self-moved, caring for no life, nor shifting a hairsbreadth for all entreaty, and yet believe that God is awake and utterly loving, to desire nothing but what comes from His hand, to wait patiently, such is the victory that overcometh the world, such {s faith indeed.—Dr. George Mac donald. ‘The Present Duty. There is some duty which God has made ready for you to do to-day. He has built it lke a house for you to occupy. You have not to build It. He has built it, and He will lead you up to its door and set you with your feet upon its threshold. Will you go in and occupy it? Will you do the duty which He has made ready? Per- haps it is the great comprehensive duty of the consecration of yourself to Him. Perhaps it is some special task. Whatever it is, may He who anticipated your love by His own in giving you the task, now help you te fulfill His love with yours by doing it Amen.—Phillips Brooks. Believe, and Be Saved. God has His purposes of love and grace toward mankind, but conditional ‘on the obedience of faith. Christ re moved every legal hindrance to man’s salvation, but if man will not believe he must die in his sins. God does not save men against their will. “If ye be willing and obedient” is the condition, If those first chpsen refuse He will turn to others, for His purposes of grace shall not be frustrated, All to Honor and Worship. All God's angels are to worship Him. To Him every knee in Heaven and on earth 1s to bow, and every tongue con- fess Him. All are to honor the Son, even as they honor the Father, Jesus 1s crowned with glory and honor, In Heaven Jesus receives Heaven's high est worship. Unto Him that sitteth on the throne and unto the Lamb, be blessing, honor, glory and dominion, for ever and ever, Scriptural Encouragement. ‘The Scriptures wee written for our Instruction, that we might have hope through the encouragement they give. The good news of rgnission of sins and resurrection is a:cording to the Scriptures. They shoy that all man- kind is shut up to falta for salvation, Scripture did not orighuate with men; its source 1s the everliving God, spoken through men, as impelled by His Spirit. Good Deeds Are Fruitful. Good deeds are very frukful. Out of ‘one good action of ours, God produces a thousand, the harvest whereof {9 perpetual, If good deeds were utterly barren sand incommodious, 1 would seek after them from @ consciousness of their own goodness; how much more shall I now be encouraged to perform them, that they are so profit- able both to myself and others!—Bish- oe Hail, BABY CAME NEAR OYING, From an Awful Skin Humore —Ceratched Till Blood Ran— Wasted to a Skeleton— ‘Gpeedily Cured by Cuticura, “When three months olf my boy broke out with an itching, watery fash all over his body, and he would tcratch till the blood ran.

MAJORITY OF PATIENTS WOMEN Mra, Pinkham's Advice Saves Many ‘From this Bad and Costly Experience.

Fexes and Their Burrows. For the statement that foxes have holes there is not only the authority of natural history but of Gospel. The typical habitation of the fox is a hole in the ground. "Running to earth" and "digging out" are well known incidents of the English sport. The fox is a wise beast in all things, wise enough to rent the burrow of any animal; but in default of such abodes he is quite capable of digging for himself, and that with remarkable speed. Good Proof of Guilt. When William M. Evarts was a young man he defended in court a man named Edwards, who was charged with forgery. The trial was an interesting one, and Mr. Evarts by brilliant work secured his client's acquittal. He had a strong belief that the man was innocent until the trial was all over. Then he changed his opinion. Edwards paid Mr. Evarts his fee with a forged check. English Tavern Signe. A tavern sign seen in various parts of England is "The Dog's Head in a Pot," accompanying the painting of a dog eating out of a three-legged pot, which may seem to mean that the host is kind and his viands good. Another significant sign is "Five Miles from Anywhere. No Hurry," seen in Hampshire, a pleasant reminder that it is an agreeable place to linger. Nourishment in Skim Milk. In skimming milk the cream removed lessons the fat percentage, and for older people or fat children the skim milk is equally desirable, in some cases better. In eating apples the skin, too, should be eaten. Pared apples are not so nutritious, as the ash contents of the apple skin are valuable to the human system. Peculiar Order to Trainmen. The following notice was observed posted in the engine dispatcher's office at the roundhouse in a neighboring town on one of the railroad lines running out of Albany: "Trainmen on passenger trains must not go through the coaches with overalls on, without first taking them off."—Albany Journal. Victima of Official Pleasure. The viceroy of the Two Kuang provinces, China, recently put out a proclamation that no pawnbash was to take arms in pawn. Being later himself in need of funds, he sent his own agents with arms to pledge. Five shops accepted them; and these afterward paid fines in the amount of $7,250 each. Needless Pother. It is a reflection on our intelligence that we spend so much time on our food, and so much more time in talking about it. We must eat, of course, but what a needless pother there is about the dishes, and the cookery, and the garnish! — Illustrated London News. Poets and Irreponsibility. Poets are wayward creatures, largely irresponsible for their actions, or, at all events, provided with such a curiously sensitive and inflammable organization that we feel it would be unjust to judge them by ordinary standards.—London Telegraph. Frailty Common to Mankind. All men have their frailties, and whoever looks for a friend without imperfection will never find what he seeks. We love ourselves notwithstanding our faults and we ought to love our friends in like manner.—Cyrus. Norway Loans to Farmers Farmers can borrow money from the government in Norway at 3 per cent interest, and still the Norse rush to other lands. The reason is that the collateral on which to borrow is rather difficult to get in Norway. Cigarette Case Saves Life. Returning to his house at Argenteuil, in France, Mr. Hugh Gooding was shot at by a discharged employee, the bullet flattening itself against a silver cigarette case, which he carried just over his heart. The Only Religious Test. No religious test has been devised, short of burning a man at the stake—the ultimate and only satisfactory test—which will operate as a trustworthy criterion of sincere belief.—Mr. Asquith.

A southern congressman tells a story of an old negro in Alabama who, in his bargaining, is always afraid that he may get "the worst of it." On one occasion, it appears, this aged darkey went after a calf that he had pastured all summer, and asked what he owned for the pasturing: "I have a bill of $10 against you," said the farmer who had undertaken the care of the animal, "but, if you are willing, I'll take the calf and call it settled." "No sah!" promptly exclaimed the negro, "I'll do nothing like dat. But," he adder, after a pause. "I'll tell you what I will do—you keep the calf two weeks longer and you can have it."—Harper's Weekly. Theatrical News. The new Hamlet looked toward the gallery as a half dozen eggs struck the stage and exploded. "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark."

TO THE READERS OF THE SON. J. B. Johnson, who the Son accepted a short while ago as an assistant on this paper, is in nowise connected with us now. He is not the man that we took him to be, and any soliciting or attempting to collect money for the Son by him should be treated with contempt. JUDGE WOFFORD Judge Wofford in passing a sentence on a Negro named Williams whose complexion was a trifle fairer than the average Negro, claimed that he was a disgrace to his race and that all yellow Negroes were worthless and dishonest in effect. We wish to say to the Judge that the blame for various complexions of the Negro race must be laid at the white man's door. It is hard for the Negro to bear his own burden but when he has to bear the burden of the white man, it is all the worse. The Judge should have thought twice before making such an expression, in which there is neither truth nor logic. TOO MUCH VILE INFLUENCE. It is very imperative that the Negro fathers and brother make more of an effort to obliterate the evil influence which surrounds their wives and daughters in many localities in this city. There are too many vile places which are allowed to thrive in decent localities to the detriment of our wives and children. Let the husbands and brothers withdraw some of their support to the saloons and give more attention to their homes and families. This very question has an important bearing upon the race question. We must have decent surroundings in order to maintain purity and dignity. Let us fight the evil and enjoy the good results which must obtain. NINTH UNITED STATES CAVALRY The Negroes of Kansas City are very proud of the Ninth United States Cavalry. The company is comprised of intelligent Negroes of a distinct soldierly bearing. They acted as escort to Secretary Taft of the war department, who was the principal guest at the Eleventh Annual dinner of the Commercial Club last Monday night. The following is an editorial of the Kansas City Star upon which the Son can make no improvement: "The men of the squadron of the Ninth cavalry that acted as Secretary Taft's escort this morning were as fine and soldierly a set of fellows as one would care to see. They sat on their horses with the pride and self-respect that are expected of all wearers of the uniform of the United States and from which the accidental fact of the color of their skin did not in the slightest degree detract. The Negro regiments of the United States have repeatedly proved their quality in battle. In the Civil war, on the plains and in Cuba they showed their courage and their fidelity to the flag. It was a happy thought that suggested their employment in the military service of their country, for in it thousands of them have found a useful and honorable career. No body who saw the squadron this morning would be disposed to question the advantages of the discipline and training that army life would provide to many Negroes who have drifted to cities with nothing in particular to do. AS NEGRO PARTY FEALTY IS VALUED. The time is almost ripe for activity among the Republicans locally. The pass word of the local boss "line up boys" will soon be heard on every corner. Again an earnest appeal for the Negro vote will be made. The Republicans are in the saddle in the city, county and state. The little representation given the Negroes at the City Hall is supposed to be a fitting (2) recognition for his fealty. The county officials do not seem to think they owe the Negro voter anything for his support nor do the state officials. The Son holds that the Republicans expect too much of the Negro voters for what is given in return. As soon as an office hunter bags his game he does not know his Negro supporter nor does he want to know him until the time comes to hunt the office again. Very inspiring (?) to the Negro. Very characteristic of our officials at Jefferson City as well as the office holders in the Court house. If per chance one of these officials meets a Negro who was an active champion of the Republican party interests, he begins to tell him troubles but the point he never reaches if it touches upon the question of Negro recognition. The spoils are divided among the office holders and the white party workers and the Negro gets nothing except the command, "Get ready boys, line up and let's elect our ticket." This old command is tune worn and shattered and will not work any longer. There will be no more lining up until the Negro gets something for something. A so-called Negro representative at the City Hall who holds his job by virtue of the colored vote, visits a big white restaurant with a basket, tips his hat, gets the basket filled with edibles, sneaks to some remote corner in a building across the street and there dines. Why does not this Negro practice what he preaches? Is there not a Negro restaurant in the whole of Kansas City fit to serve him? President Booker T. Washington has just received the information that the Russian and Danish translations of his autobiography, "Up From Slavery," have been published. The book is still a popular volume in all parts of the world. Old Hats made to look like new at low prices at Cantrell Dry Goods and Hardware Co., 27th and Cleveland avenue. CLIPPINGS OF RACE NOTES. The Negro bank at Muscogee, I. T., has a capital of $20,000. It takes us about four years to learn to speak, and the other three score and six to learn not to. But women do not think so. There are five incorporated Negro business corporations at New York City with a capital of $1,500,000. Hon. Harry Smith, Colored, of Cleveland, editor of the Gazette, has been nominated by the Republican of Cuyahoga county for the Ohio legislature. When are the Republicans going to begin hunting mayoralty timber? The interest of the common people here in Kansas City is not as closely guarded as it should by our chosen city executives. Give us cheaper gas. President Roosevelt stands today as one of the greatest men of the age. He is a champion of integrity, honesty and fair play. If all the American people were as broad, fearless and upright as our great president, what a grand and good country this would be. The people of Kansas City are patiently awiting the enjoyment of cheaper gas and cheaper water too. Kansas City, Kansas, and Independence are already enjoying the blessing of much reduced gas bills while the people of this city must rest contented until the politicians see fit to give them what they are entitled to. There must be a graft somewhere—and the people of this city are going to demand an explanation. The 13th is indeed an unlucky day. On that date a Negro mob in Atlanta, Ga. attempted to lynch a white man for criminal assault on a colored girl. By so doing they show that they adopt the barbarism displayed by others. This is wrong. We object to lynching because of its barbarity and not because of the particular person lynched. A mob is simply a mob regardless of the color of those who compose it.—The Freeman. Evidences are accumulating that that the Negro is doing some tall thinking along political lines. He is ceasing to be the tool of any local boss, or an asset of any particular party. He is beginning to have a definite and practical reason for the faith that is within him.

Blow Too Much For Pat. While Pat Kern, a sturdy young Irishman of Philadelphia, was standing on a ladder cleaning windows a lawyer approached and called out to him that an uncle living in Ireland had died, leaving him $100,000. Pat promptly fell from the ladder at the shock. He was not hurt, however, and soon went back to his task. "When are you going to quit work?" was asked. "When I get the money," came the retort.

"Everything—everything—from soup to pudding?" "Every mouthful, from soup to pudding," he said bravely. "Oh, I'm so relieved, then," she said, as a huge sigh escaped her. "You see, I forgot to order the syrup for the sauce for the pudding, and I had to have something, so I took the cough syrup, and I was so afraid you'd taste it."—Exchange. It is wrong to be envious, but just the same we never see a barefoot boy with his toe tied up in a rag that we do not envy him, sorc toe, rag and all. A man must be awfully mean when he can find pleasure in depriving other people of it.

WRIGHT "It don't seem hardly worth while cookin' dinner, an' a Thanksgivin' dinner at that, jest for myself," said old Mrs. Bascom, as she looked into the oven to see how the turkey was roasting, and gave a stir to the squash against its burning. "But I's pose it wouldn't be right not to get it after Mirandy Leggett sending me over the turkey an' the cranberry, an' with them punkin pies of Mehitibel Lee's on the shelf." The first flakes of snow were falling WASON "What do you want?" from the leaden hills gray clouds, veiling the distant hills and filling the ruts in the road with lines of white. "An 'ny I ought to be thankful," she continued, talking to herself as she rocked back and forth. "Mirandy Loggett an' the Jones gals, an' Mehitibel Lee is real kind givin' me things, but I wished they'd asked me to spend the day to one of their houses. It don't somehow feel like a Thanksgivin' dinner when it's eat alone." A knock at the front door roused Mrs. Bascom from her reverie. He was poorly dressed in coarse and shabby clothes. Slung from his shoulder was a canvas pack, from which the handles of two or three tools protruded. "What do you want?" asked Mrs. Bascom, while her eyes took in every detail of her visitor's appearance. "I want some dinner, ma'am. I'm willing to pay you for it. I ain't a tramp, though maybe I look like one." "What be you doin' on the road today, if you ain't a tramp?" asked Mrs. Bascom. "I'm on my way to Pittsfield. There's a job up there for me toorrow an' I thought I'd save a day by walking when I couldn't work." "What are you doin' off the main road, then, if you're goin' to Pittsfield?" "I kinder thought I could get a bite to eat here. I saw the house acrost the fields and I liked the looks of it." "But there's a plenty of places you could have stopped at along the road without goin' out of your way to come here." "So they was, ma'am, but you see, I ain't got no home. Those houses along the road they was havin' regular family dinners, an' it didn't seem to be no place for a homeless man. It would kind o' make him seem more homeless like. I wish you could see your way to lettin' me have dinner here!" "Well, I guess I can make out to let you have something," she said, half reluctantly, "though I ain't a gain' to let you pay me nothin' for it—the dinner was give to me—tho' if you want to chop some wood afterwards, I guess I'm willin' to have you!" Mrs. Bascom led the way into the house—a pleasant feeling of having company taking the place of loneliness of a half-hour before. She gave her guest a chair in the little sitting room, and with the door open oetween it and the kitchen so that she could watch him, she busied nerself over the dinner. He was a talkative man, this visitor. By his own account he was a rolling stone, which in its revolutions had gathered more experience than moss. "I mined it in California an' Oregon, an' I tried holdin' down a timber claim in Washington, an' one spell I ranched it in Montana. There ain't much of the west I ain't made money in an' lost it," he remarked. Mrs. Bascom came in hurriedly from the kitchen. "You ain't never heard tell of a boy out there by the name of Willie Bascom, did you?" she asked. "I know it's a pretty big place, the west, but I thought maybe you might have run acrost someone by that name." "No'm, I dunno as I ever did," said the man, "though that don't count. They're likely to have any name out there, except their right ones. What did he look like?" "He was 'bout your bulld, but better lookin'," she said frankly. "I warnn't so bad lookin' once," returned the man. "You warnn't as good lookin' as my Willie, though. He was the handsomest boy around here, though I do say it." Mrs. Bascom went into the parlor and brought out a picture in a pine cone frame. It showed a smooth faced, boyish fellow of twenty or so, but it hardly bore out her eulogism. "That was took when he first went west," said Mrs. Bascom, "twelve years this comin' June. He writ me twice after that that he was doin' well, an' was happy except for wantin' to see me, an' then I never heard again. He was my only boy, and I didn't want him to go, but he an' his father didn't get along well. He wanted to go west an' make his fortune. He must be dead—though I hate to think so—or he'd come home to me when his father dled—or written." "Maybe he was ashamed," suggested her listener. "Ashamed of what? Willie wouldn't do anything to be ashamed of. He couldn't. He was wild, maybe, an, headstrong, but he wouldn't do nothin' bad." "But maybe he failed in what he undertook—there's heaps of young fellows does—and put off writin' until he could make a strike, an' then the strike didn't come, an' he was ashamed to tell you. An' now—if he's allyin'—after all these years he thinks you've thrown off on him, or forgot him. Or maybe he's got into some scrape out there, an—" "It wouldn't make no mite of difference what he'd done," interrupted Mrs. Bascom, "though I know he hain't done nothin'; but if he heed, I'd love him just as much, maybe more." She rose and wiped her eyes on the corner of her apron. "I guess that dinner must be cookin' to pieces," she said, "an here I set talkin'. I'll go an' dish it, an' if you want to clean up you'll find water an' soap an' towel in the room there. It was Winnie's once, an' I always keep it ready lessen he should come home." She slipped the turkey on its platter and took the potatoes from the oven. Then she emptied the onions into a dish and turned to put it on the table, when she looked up quickly. Her guest was standing in the doorway and smiling at her. "I've—I've come back, mother," he said. The onion dish dropped from her trembling hands to the floor. "Willie!" she cried, and then her thin, weak arms went around his neck, her gray head was on his breast and she was crying happily. "O, Lord!" she said, "for what I have received I am truly thankful!"—Boston Globe. While in nearly every land and clime there are holidays galore, it is doubtful if there is any one more generally celebrated than this, unless it be Christmas, and that day, perhaps, does not excite the interest given the officially designated day for thanks. Such a day goes, perhaps, farther than any other to make the whole world akin, for in almost every home the whole family circle gathers at pretty much the same hour, and then, too, if there are vacant seats attention is forcibly directed to them, and the missing, wherever he be, if on this earth, can be depended upon to face a heaping plate of the toothsome meat in the hostelries and eating houses over the land, and then it is that thought will meet thought and one grand reunion, with the old home-steads as the centers around which thoughts gather, be the result. Thus will the turkey gather us together. In Yankee Fashion In Yankee Fashion. "Tis wrong," said the startled orang, "I'd even pronounce it a shame To use a nailed hoof as you do; You break all the rules of the game! The monk with the sphere calmly said, "I'm sorry I trauried our smile; This is in Shiloh, my name; This is in American style." Turkey Talk With gobble loud and stirring The king of turkey-flock Called all his subjects to him. And made this little talk: "This is our year, my brethren, We've waited for it long; Revenge is sweet as turkey meat, Let's hall it with a song. "The pound of flesh they're after— With it they may be fed; But it's far from the Shyjock act Will bleed them all, instead. "And as for being roasted, We have as the king to turn, When they have found to get us browned That money has to burn." "So gobble, gobble, gobble! And gaily fling the dust; For while they fear, we will good cheer, All hall the turkey trust!" —Carolyn Wood. THANKSGIVING GAMES BY CAROLYN WELLS After dinner there are many games to be played in which old and young may join. To a drawing-board on an easel fasten a number of large sheets of blank paper. Whisper the name of an animal to each guest. Give each a slip of paper and a pencil. Now let each in turn draw a picture on the large papers, representing the animal designated. The others must guess what animal it is and write the name on their lists. The greatest aggregate of correct guesses may receive a prize. A blackboard may be used instead of papers, and this game is interesting to all, as often the children outstrip their elders in drawing animals. Another merry game is tossing bean bags through a hoop. Suspend a gaily decorated hoop in a doorway, and the party being evenly divided, let those on one side throw bean bags through the hoop to those on the other side, who must catch them. Have bells on the hoop, and let a careful score be kept—if the bell rings, it counts less than a clean throw. After the smallest children have retired, the other members of the family will enjoy games of a mental order. A good one is called "The Music Lesson." On a table arrange the following articles, let each be numbered, and on prepared cards let the guessers write what musical term each article represents. A door key (key), a clock (time), a tape measure A woman reaches out to stop a man from hitting a mirror hanging on the door. Through a Hoop. (masure), a knife (sharp), a low, broad-brimmed straw hat (flat), a natural flower (natural), an autograph (signature), a few fish-scales (scales), six beets in a wooden measure (six beats to a measure), a bow of ribbon (tie), a promissory note (note), a card on which is written "To Sell (pedal), a cane (staff), forty beans or buttons (forte), picture of cat's paws (pause), a wooden or iron bracket (bracket), the lower part of a broken vase (bass), a bit of string (chord), bar of soap (bar). Another good game is the guessing of book titles. Cards for this game may be bought, but better ones may be made with little trouble or expense. On a blank card paste a picture of Napoleon. This represents "A Gentleman of France." The letter B in red ink is "The Scarlet Letter." A small figure 2 is "We Two." Pictures of Washington, Dewey, George W. Cable and George Eliot, all pasted on one card, represent "The Four Georges." "Three Men in a Boat," "The Woman in White," "Little Women" and many others may be easily represented by pictures cut from papers or magazines. Two capital I's painted blue are "A Pair of Blue Eyes." "As" written backward is "As in a Looking Glass." while the word Guikool printed on a card is "Looking Backward." A glance through any library catalogue or publisher's list will supply plenty of suggestions. Another merry game is "Advertise- ments." Cut from the magazines popular pictorial advertisements, and carefully removing all printed words paste each on a card. Number the cards and let the guessers determine the articles advertised. Similar to this is the selection of vortraits of faintly well-known authors or other celebri- ties or public characters whose names are to be guessed--The Sunday Magazine. WASTED TO A SHADOW. A. H. Stotts, messenger at the State Capitol, Columbus, O., says: "For fifteen years I had kidney troubles, and though I doctored faithfully, could not find a cure. I had heavy backaches, dizzy headaches and terrible urinary disorders. One day I collapsed, fell insensible on the sidewalk, and then I had kidney troubles, and though I doctored faithfully, could not find a cure. I had heavy backaches, dizzy headaches and terrible urinary disorders. One day I collapsed, fell insensible on the sidewalk, and then wasted away in bed for ten weeks. After being given up, I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. In a couple of months I regained my old health, and now weigh 188 pounds. Twelve boxes did it, and I have been well two years."

DISTRESS AFTER MEALS Sure Sign That Dr. Williams' Pink Pillle Are Needed to Tone Up the Digestive Organs. Loss of appetite, distress after eating, shortness of breath, a feeling of utter weakness—these are symptoms that are familiar to most sufferers from stomach trouble. Too often the ordinary doctor's treatment serves but to weaken the diseased organs. The new tonic method of treating disorders of this kind does not aim to do the work of the stomach, does not demand that the food be pre-digested, but builds up the weakened organs, so that they can do the work that nature intended. Mrs. L. O. Law, of No. 324 North street, Horton, Kansas, says: "In 1897, while we were living on a farm in this neighborhood, I became generally debilitated as the result of overwork. I had serious indigestion, lost my appetite, suffered from a sense of suffocation and from obstruction of the circulation, so that artificial means had to be used to restore it. After suffering for months without finding any relief, I tried a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills of which I had read in a newspaper. The first few boxes made me lots better, and after using the third box I felt entirely well. "I am now in excellent health and am able not only to take care of my house but also to assist my husband in a store which he has lately taken. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me and I can recommend them. They are so simple, so easily taken and so prompt in their action." Remember Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do not act on the bowels. They make new blood and restore shattered nerves. In this way they carry health and vigor to every organ and fiber of the body. They are sold by all druggists or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y. A doctor is bound to lose a few patients occasionally; but that's because they refuse to do as he tens them. OUTER THE ORDINARY To Gladden Somebody's Heart. To him who goes out of his way To gladden somebody's heart.

E. Kiser. An Island of Delight. Tahiti (or Otahele), one of the islands of the South Pacific, is a land that might have been imagined by a writer of children's fairy tales. Here is what a visitor who recently returned from there said of it: "The inhabitants are a handsome race, with light brown skins, superior in physical beauty to any of the white races. They are a happy and childlike people, with the love of beauty which distinguished the ancient Greeks. "Life on the island is a delight. The trees supply not only fruit, but bread, milk and even custard. (I mean the custard apple, which grows nowhere else). "Even one's garments grow on the trees, so to speak. The fabric may be stripped from the trunk and made into wearing apparel with little trouble. "The inhabitants are all Christians (thanks to generations of missionary teaching), so that their old savagery has gone, while their graceful manners remain. "Strangers on the island may walk into any home they please, and will be welcomed as honored guests. The most delicious fruits and other dainties will be set before them, served by the host, graceful and polite and his womenkind, dusky beauties, as modest as they are charming." Ferocious "Kissing Bug." The discovery of a "kissing bug" larger and more ferocious than the mysterious insect that was so often reported in various parts of the United States a few years ago is reported by Prof. A. L. Herrera, chief agricultural entomologist of the republic of Mexico. A description of the bug, which Prof. Herrera says is known in Mexico as chinche voladora, and is the cause of considerable apprehension of serious injury, especially to children, which it attacks by puncturing the skin with its beak and sucking the blood, has reached the bureau of entomology of the United States department of agriculture. The real name of the insect is mecus pallidipennis, belonging to the Reduvil family, being larger than the native American so called "kissing bug," and is closely related to conorhinus, the genus which includes the cone noses, the most bloodthirsty of the species. It measures upward of an inch and a quarter in length and five-eighths of an inch in width, and is black in color, with light converging bands like the markings of a turtle. "The insect is so large and of such formidable appearance," says the bureau's report, "that we would naturally expect it to be capable of a dangerous bite." Vine Covers Half an Acre. A vine now standing in California, which is considered the largest in the world, was planted in 1842 by a Spanish woman. Beneath its spreading branches, which cover nearly half an acre, 800 persons could find protection from the sun's heat. The first election in Santa Barbara county under American rule was held beneath its ripening fruit. The vine is of the mission variety. In 1893 it bore eight tons of grapes, and in 1895 over ten tons. The trunk of the vine is 7 feet 8 inches in circumference.—Scientific American. Umbrellas on Hire. America has now scores of depots where an umbrella can be hired for five cents by any one overtaken by rain minus their useful "gamp." These umbrellas are so well marked that there is no fear of the dishonest making off with them. You hire at one point, and may return the article at any of the depots convenient to you. That the system is of service is proved by the flourishing condition of the company exploiting the novel idea. The umbrellas for hire are, of course, not costly affairs, but still all that is required for emergency. Motor-Car Climbs Steps. To settle a wager, Mr. John L Poole recently drove a 7-horsepower motor-car up the 193 steps of the Odessa boulevard steps, ending with his car in such good condition that it was possible to go straight off for a long drive with it. Owing to the wheel-base of the car, both front and rear wheels were obliged to jump at the same time. The total height of the flight of steps is 84½ feet, and the gradient thirty in a hundred. Live Owl on an Engine. A live owl came into the Kansas City Union Depot on the Missouri Pacific train from Wichita last night. The bird was caught between the boiler and one of the rods on the side of the engine. It had been struck a glancing blow, and lodged stunned on the engine's side. Some all boys in the station noticed the owl and captured it.—Kansas City Star.

He was not only a tall, strong country boy; he soon grew to be a tall, strong, sinewy man. He early reached the unusual height of six fet four inches, and his long arms gave him a degree of power as an axman that few were able to rival. He therefore usually led his fellows in efforts of muscle as well as of mind. That he could outrun, panlons, that he could chop faster, split more rails in a day, carry a heavier log at a "raising," or excel the neighborhood champion in any feat of front athleticics, was doubtless a matter of pride and with him; but stronger than all else was his eager craving for knowledge. He felt instinctively that the power of using the mind rather than the muscles was the key to success. He wished no only to wrestle with the best of them, but to be able to talk like the preacher, spell and cipher like the schoolmaster, argue like the lawyer, and write like the editor.-Helen Nicolay in November St. Nicholas. Dialikea Term "Marconigram." Marconi, the young Italian who brought to its present stage of development the system of wireless telegraphy, dislikes the name "Marconigram," which is often used to describe wireless dispatches. He always calls the "wireless messages" or the equivalent of that term. PASSING OF PORRIDGE Makes Way for the Better Food of a Better Day. "Porridge is no longer used for breakfast in my home," writes a loyal Britain from Huntsville, Ont. This was an admission of no small significance to one "brought up" on the time-honored stand-by. "One month ago," she continues, "I bought a package of Grape-Nuts food for my husband, who had been an invalid for over a year. He had passed through a severe attack of pneumonia and la gripe combined, and was left in a very bad condition when they passed away. "I tried everything for his benefit, but nothing seemed to do him any good. Month followed month and he still remained as weak as ever. I was almost discouraged about him when I got the Grape-Nuts, but the result has compensated me for my anxiety. "In the one month that he has eaten Grape-Nuts he has gained 10 pounds in weight, his strength is rapidly returning to him, and he feels like a new man. Now we all eat Grape-Nuts food, and are the better for it. Our little 5 year old boy, who used to suffer from pains in the stomach after eating the old-fashioned porridge, has no more trouble since he began to use Grape-Nuts, and I have no more doctor's bills to pay for him." "We use Grape-Nuts with only sweet cream, and find it the most tasty dish "Last Monday I ate 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast, nothing else, then set to work and got my morning's work done by 9 o'clock, and felt less tired, much stronger, than if I had made my breakfast on meat, potatoes, etc., as I used to. I wouldn't be without Grape-Nuts in the house for any money." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Welville," in pkga. Colonel Arthur L.

When it was in my stomach I was doubled up, and hardly knew what to do for the pain. I was advised to take all kinds of remedies, and did so but without getting any relief. Then some one told me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I got a box and began taking them. The first few doses gave me relief, by the time I had finished them all the pain was gone and I have been well ever alone." Nothing to It. "A poor grape is like beauty, is it not?" "I know not.

The handiwork of nature must be unsatisfactory to most women, judging from the amount of coin they spend for cosmetics. READ AND YOU WILL LEARN That the leading medical writers and teachers of all the several schools of practice endorse and recommend, in the strongest terms possible, each and every ingredient entering into the composition of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia, catarrh of stomach, "liver complaint," torpid liver, or biliousness, chronic bowel affections, and all catarrhal diseases of whatever region, name or nature. It is a special case of the condition or handling cases of catarrhal affections and their resultants, as bronchial, throat and lung diseases (except consumption) accompanied with severe cough. It is not so good for acute colds and coughs, but for lingering, or chronic cases it is especially efficacious in producing perfect cures. It contains Black Cherry bark, Seal root Seal, Bloodroot, Stone root, which are highly praised as remedies for all the above mentioned affections by such eminent medical writers and teachers as Prof. Bartholow, of Jefferson Med. College; Prof. Hare, of the Univ. of Pa.; Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Bennett Med. College; Chicago; Prof. John King, M. D., late of Cincinnati; Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late of Cincinnati; Prof. Edwin M. D., late of Cincinnati; Prof. Edwin College, Chicago; scores of others equally eminent in their several schools of practice. The "Golden Medical Discovery" is the only medicine put up for sale through druggists for like purposes, that has any such professional endorsement — worth more than any number of ordinary testers — on the bottle wrapper is the best possible guaranty of its merits. A glance at this published formula will show that "Golden Medical Discovery" contains no poisonous or harmful agents and no alcohol — chemically pure, triple-refined glycerine being used instead. Glycerine is entirely useful ingredient in the cure of all stomach as well as bronchial, throat and lung affections. There is the highest medical authority for its use in all such cases. The "Discovery" is a concentrated glyceric extract of native, medicinal roots and is safe and reliable. It is from eminent medical authorities, endorsing its ingredients mailed free on request.

He is a scientist, and therefore, a deep thinker, and absentminded. His most recent adventure attributable to his absent-minded atties it as present fournishing much amusement for the faculty. He was reading one evening after dinner when his wife approached and, touching him on the shoulder, remarked sofetly: "Oliver, Mr. and Mrs. Branner are coming over this evening so just go upstairs and put on your other coat." The little, quiet professor compiled without a murmur. An hour later, when the vistors had been in the hous some time, the hostees excused herself for a moment and sliped upstairs to see what detained Doctor Jenkins. She found him in bed, calmly sleeping. "Oh, to be sure, the Barnners!" he said when she awakened him. I'll be right down. I guess I was a little absentminded. I must have forgotten what I came for when I removed my coat, for I kept right on undressing and went to bed."—San Francisco Chronicle. Royalty In the Ranks. According to Le Petit Parisien, the ex-Archduke Leopold, of Austria, who married Fraulein Adamovitch and became naturalized as a Swiss citizen under the name of Leopold Wolffing, is now serving as a common soldier in a Swiss regiment at Geneva, in accordance with the law which requires military service from all citizens of the confederaton. The ex-archduke, we are told, has to perform all the duties of his new position, helping to scrub the floors of the barracks, and to sweep the yard, besides participating in several hour's drill each day. Through a practical joke played upon him by some comrades he lately incurred the punishment of four day's arrest, but it was not carried into effect, as suitable explanations were forthcoming. Curiously enough, this new Swiss recruit formerly held the rank of major general in the Austrian army. Keeping Church Doors Open. Rev. W. S. Rainsford, of New York, holds that a church door should hardly ever be closed. "I was not always so keen for open churches," he confessed recently, "but a 4-year-old girl settled my mind on that point. I was walking with her, listening to her childish prattle, when we passed a tightly closed and locked church. I 'spose God has a key to let Himself in,' she remarked, looking thoughtfully at the barred door, 'but the people have to go to the sexton,' I didn't have a church then,' continued the doctor, 'but I made up my mind that when I did have one the people would not have to hunt up the sexton to get in.' Stakeholders Retain Money. An interesting feature of the situation in New York, pending a recount of the vote, is the refusal of stakeholders to release the money placed in their hands by bettors on the mayoralty until the question shall have been decided. Such a large sum was wagered on the result that the interest on the money thus held up would amount to quite a sum if the suspense were to continue for any considerable time. Bets that Hearst would win on the recount were recorded yesterday at odd of anywhere from 1 to 5 to even money. Painful Reminder Ruffon Wratz'—No. I didn't git a cent out o' the counsel.

What stirring strains were those bugle notes as they echoed and re- echoed up the canons and thronsh the tall tamaracks at Camp Watson, a typical fronticr post whose barrack bulldings were of solid logs, located fn the part of the beautiful Blue moun: tains where the hostile Snake Indians ranged and disputed with gory hand the advances of the white man, The little garrison at Camp Watson had had hard work all the fall hunt ing hostiles far and away even to the Owyhee, and now looked — forward with keen appreciation to Thanksiiy ing day, which the next sun-np would bring, and the frontier feasting 11 would bring with it “It will be to all the boys at least @ taste of home and mother,” sald Major W. V. Rinehart, post command er, as he instructed Lieutenant Tom Hand to lighten labor and give bis men all possible liberty. So the company game hunters had been out on the near-by ridges and brought in dozens of big, fat grouse three deer and an elk, and the com Pany cooks had given it out that thes would try their hands on mince pie: provided some commissary fire-wate: were rustled up for flavoring, Everything looked promising for fino feast. But the two hunters who hai brought in the elk also brought th news that half a mile away they ha found the fresh tracks of an Indial pony, and the telltale sign showe that his rider had been spying abou Camp Watson. The tracks, two mile away, joined the trail of a large part: which had headed southwest, In th trail were the familiar footprints o many mules, ‘Then dashed into camp young Fre Wilmarth, whose tough cayuse ha Drought him from Fort Dalles, mor than a hundred miles away, with th news that the hostile Snakes had rai ed down the John Day and capture horses at the Maupin and Clarn ranches, and burned Jim Clarke house. Those wild Indians were makin history, for that spot is now marke “Burnt’ Ranch” on the maps of tt world, ‘The rough-riding raid of the Snake had been very successful, for at Mu dy Creek they had captured Hen Hoppner's entire train of pack mule and that energetic pioneer had to fo up in the rocks, and after escapii with his scalp and reaching T' Dallen kad to begin business all ov ain. “Boots and saddles!” soon sound at Camp Watson, Such news always brought that stirring call, Thanksgiving thoughts were laid jeaide, they would have to keep for another year, Capt. Boutelle’s troop- ers were quickly mounted, —‘Thelr trailer was Donald McKay, whose grandfather was John Jacob Astor's partner, and his grandmother a prin- cess of Concomly's Chinook tribe. Away went the troopers just as the westering sun went behind a cloud which broadened and blackened and soon began to patter down in rapid raindrops. It was to be a swift pursuit and a sudden striking of the enemy, and so every trooper traveled light, except as to ammunition, which was 150 rounds to the man, And big 50-caliber cart- rides they were in those days, Not a superfluous ounce was car- ried on the horses; there was no pack | train, no impediments; merely a few hardtacks stuck into saddle pockets comprised the commissary; the ene- my had food—eapture it. It was dark when the troopers sam d onto the trail, And how it rained! Every man was soaking wet. | Every rock was afloat. The prance had evaporated from the horses, and they stuck close to the trail, tails tucked under. All night they stuck to it, and covered many miles, ‘A ‘good trailer was Donald McKay, and the footfalls of his trained cayuse told him in the dark the kind of tracks he was stepping in. Where a small party of the hostiles had branched off to the northwest Donald knew their number and guessed their object. Silently the pursuit continued, Day: light could not be much further away than over the next divide. Suddenly in the darkness just ahead, what was that? The yelp of a coyote? If so it would soon be followed by a chorus No, It was the bark of the coyote’: close cousin, an Indian dog. Soon it was followed by another bark, and bang! A bullet zipped pas the troopers, ‘Then came the defiant war whoop telling that the Indians had put non but Americans on guard that night and that the warriors were stirrin and ready to meet the United State: the great nation with whom they wer at war. Quickly the troopers accommodate them, There were volleys from bot sides, a dashing cavalry charg through the camp, a reassembling b | bugle call on the other side, an | another rush through, i It was blind business in the darl || put the Indians gave shot for shot a | they scattered around in the sag ‘| brush and posted themselves in ri vines, i 5 As daylight came, the trooper !] closed in on the camp, and whi >| warriors remained in {t dled deflan ‘The camp was a medley of willo 3 | pole wickiups and tule-matting win - | breake shaped lke the modern ha y| worn by women.

The firing showed th the hostiles’ strength had been re duced. So had the number of troop ers, and the wounded horses, unable to respond to the bugle call, neighed pitifully from where they had gone down in the charge, The wounded were being looked after and their misery eased where that seemed possible, when Donald McKay took the floor, and, in stentor- fan tones and Snake dialect, told the hostiles they had better cease firing and surrender; otherwise the soldiers would Kill the last one of them, A deflant answer came rolling back, and just then an Indian woman hold: ing up a baby rushed toward the sol- diers, saying she would surrender to save her child. A shot followed from the gulch she had left, and her own husband became her murderer, He was stalking out to secure the baby when a bullet from McKay's carbine ended his career. This baby boy was afterward raised by a pioneer cattle- man named Altnow, and became the most expert vaquero on the great Pine Creek Range. After a twenty-minute parley. the hostiles were given their choice of extermination or surrender, and final- ly chose the latter. Sulkily they eame into camp, what was left of them, thirty warriors with guns, while as many more lay dead and dying around ‘the camp. Dead soldiers were there, too, six of them, and ten wounded. Strapping fellows in the very flower of youth, lald low on that ‘Thanksgtv- ing morning, a sad sacrifice to the cruel war waged in the winning of the West, A sorry-looking camp {t was, but there was meat in it, for the Indians had killed and dried most of Henry Heppner's mules, and they had several sacks of dried crickets and cowse and camas, and a little flour stolen at An. telope. And this was all they had to offer the guests who had intruded on them. But where Indians can live, soldiers can exist, and the late Thanksgiving breakfast was nearly over when— “Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!” ‘Those were the words which came from the adjoining sage brush, ani quickly Capt.

The last ining Mrs. Bennett said to Janet was: “Invite some girls to take dinner with you on Thanksgiving day. Any mother will spare her daughter under the circumstances.” And poor Janet, under her heartache, took comfort, Then there was brother Jack, aged 10, Janet had him to consider; some- how they must have a happy day in spite of all. So Janet set to work to choose her guests. Now in Janet's heart there was a wrong rankling. Her best friend had accepted an invitation some time be- fore—an invitation that had not been extended to her! Janet had hoped her friend would decline because of loyalty to her, but no, she had gone to the party, had a good time and Janet resented it. “I will leave Helen out,” thought Janet with a hardening of her heart, “and I'll invite some fashionable girls, just to show her that I can form a cirele outside our own. It may teach ‘her a lesson.” It was odd how heavy hearted Janet was after this decision, but with a grim setting of the lips she went to work at the desk. Jack sat by the window munching ‘candy, He was going to play foot- ball later on; he had an appointment with his chum and he held his big silver watch in his hand. “All done,” cried Janet, suddenly, “put not a stamp. Here, Jack, mail ithese for me at the corner. There's 'a quarter; you may keep the change for sodas. I've invited the three nic- jest girls in town to dinner on Thanks- |giving day and will ask Ted for you. How's that?” Jack's eyes glistened. He snatched the dainty white notes and the money, then rushed from the room, shouting, “Thanks, Janet; you're all right.” At the corner drug store Jack came in violent contact with a sturdy bod; that nearly knocked him down. I proved to be his chum, Ted, red tr the face and panting with anger an¢ exertion, “Game's off,” he screamed in Jack's face. “Moguls are quitters. Wouldn't It Jar you?” Something had Jarred Jack, so he sat down on the store step to con sider. “They're scared,” he sald, gloom fly; ‘scared to death. They're meanies.” ‘With that Jack arose slowly, wen to the letter box on the lamp post an dropped in the invitations; then hi resumed his seat by Ted and begat more observations regarding the Mo guls, while he filpped the shininj quarter deftly. Suddenly a look o horror spread over his freckled face, “Great guns,” he exclaimed, “What's up?” asked Ted, sympathe '|feally. . “['ve put those letters im withou | stamps!” | “Gee!” whistled Ted. ‘Then Jack thought of Janet's ger lerosity and faith in him, and a grea '| wave of remorse swept over his sou |” “They were invitations to dinner, || he sighed. “Who to?” questioned Ted, a glear ,|of hope rising. ,| “I'm blessed if I know—but they’s the three nicest girls. Mother sal |Janet could invite them, and she going to ask you, too.” ‘At this Ted’s interest heightene but his hope faltered. ,| “If you only knew their names,” b ;|atghed, “we could go and ask the ?jand beg them not to tell, but we’ , |fust have to guess.” »| “Guess?” faltered Jack, ¢|_ “Yep! I didn't know there wer ‘| enree nice girls in town. I only kno ; |two, Most of them are—well, yo ;|know! There's Janet and—and Ba * | bara Dale; do you anow any others! ; | This was = problem, and the co > | sptrators on the stone step looked de ‘and of course Janet will have her.” “Course!” agreed Ted, “but she’s awful stuck up.” “And there's Barbara Dale, sure. 1 heard Janet tell mother once that Barbara was one of the best girls in school, only she was unfashionable and poor, and the girls dare not take her up.” “sillies,” snapped Ted. “I told you that Barbara was nice, Now the third one, Then we can begin.” _ The third one was a poser until at ‘last Jack had an inspiration, “I know!" he cried, “it's Margaret Dow. Her mother’s dead, and her father travels, and she lives in o horrid boarding house, and once mother asked Jane why she didn't do something for Margaret, and Janet Inughed and said that Margaret was nice, but queer, but when she had a chance she would invite her to a goo square meal. I'll bet it’s Margaret all right.” “Sure!” agreed Ted. “Now let's hurry.” So away they went with kindness in their hearts, and never a doubt that Janet's idea of nice and theirs might differ. They went to Margaret's first, A frowsy maid opened the door and let them standing on the stoop while she called Margaret. Poor little Margaret, pale and dressed in black, soon appeared, “Won't you come in?” she smiled. “No, thank you!” blurted Jack, “my sister sent me—least she wants to in- vite you to——" “A good sq—," Ted broke in wild ly. “Squiet- dinner!” groaned Jack, trying to save the day, and glaring at hapless Ted. “It's for Thanksgiving, and she wants you very much, and please when you answer—" here Jack pleaded awkwardly: “Please don't mention us—just an swer as if you had got a note!” Margaret laughed, promised merrily, ‘and the boys went gratefully on thet way. Next came Helen. She opened the door herself, “Hey ho; Jackle and Ted,” she said familiarly, ‘glad to see you.” “Janet wants you to come t Thanksgiving dinner,” began Jack seating himself in the hall on the same chair Ted had chosen. “Wants me?” cried Helen, dimpling “T thought she was angry.” This wat a surprise to Jack and he paused, bu Ted ably plunged in. “She was,” he sald, promptly, “bu she's ashamed of herself. She want: to make up, and it’s lonely—and it’ Thanksgiving—and—she hopes you' say yes, “And please,” here Jack cleared hi throat; “when you answer, just mak believe you got a stunning note an not mention us!” Helen burst into laughter. “L'il beg mother to let me go,” sh gasped, “and Jackie, here's som fudge; fll your pockets. Oh! dear but this joke 1s delicious!” “Joke!” glared Jack, “Wudge!” laughed Helen, “excus | me, boys.” So that was settled, Nov there was only Barbara, She live ‘| in an unfashionable part of the tow and was slighted by the girls of th | school every place. She was bein educated by a rich relative, but foun . | it no easy task to wear shabby clothe || and mingle with others who were fa || better arrayed. “But it will pay b and by!” was brave Barbara's mot ,| “education now, and easier time ahead.” The boys found her on th y| sunny porch studying algebra, || “Hello!” they greeted, Barbar | looked up surprised, She had fe callers, “Why, it’s Janet's brother! she smiled, “come in.” So they wer »| in, ;| “We've come to invite you t 1 | Thanksgiving dinner,” Jack began tb ~| formula, “mother and father a1 "| away.” -| “So are mine,” Barbara interrapte | “grandmother ts sick.” “well. Janot wants you, she’s aske some others. We're going to have fun.” Barbara was dimpling prettily as Helen had done. “It's odd that Janet thought of me,” she mused, “She's going to take you up,” begam Ted, determined to do bis share of the business, He got so far whem Jack turned a strong stare upon him. “This isn't your party!” he warned, “He means,” Jack continued to Bar: bara, “that Janet’s sorry she hasn't invited you before. She's asking you to something special now, to make up.” “Oh!” smiled Barbara, “she’s a dear.” “She was in an awful hurry,” Jack went on, “and so when you answer just do it as if—as it—” “We were a note!” nodded Ted, ris- ing above Jack's snub, Barbara was laughing helplessly. “All right!” she gasped. “Well, I tell you!” groaned Jack as he and Ted scampered away, “I'm glad that’s over! Now we can have an {ce cream soda.” ‘The next day Jack sat in his sister's room reading the last Henty book and Janet was sewing by the further window, when the maid brought in three letters, Janet took them, opened them one by one, and as she read her face grew strange to see. Jack, innocent and happy, read his book. “At last he was roused by Ja- net's cry: “What—does—this—mean?” He looked up. “Wat?” he asked. “Just read them!” Janet had to confide in some one, and Jack was near at hand. ‘The three notes were happy ac ceptances, and not one word about the boys. “Well,” sighed Jack with relief, “what's the matter? Didn't you want them to come?” “Want them?” sobbed Janet. “I never asked them, This—this—is an impudent trick.” It was Jack's turn to grow amazed, “You said the three nicest girls,” he wailed, “And Ted and I—" “Ted and you!” Janet had him by the shoulders, “now—tell—me—all! I dare you!” Jack never took a dare, and out the story came. Janet Ustened, then she turned to the notes so sweetly filled with faith in her and her kindness. As she thought, a shame for herself and @ thankfulness that Jack had saved her rose high and strong. “{—I—do want them!” she cried. “on! Jack, this 1s going to be a real Thanksgiving day, and you made it, you dear, old chap. I can never thank you enough.” Jack was very much surprised, but dignity upheld him. ‘And such a dinner as that wast Four happy girls, and two radiant boys laughed and chatted around the chry | santhemums and dishes of good things which Mammy Loo, the cook, had provided, Jack and Ted reveled in | as many “helps” as they wanted, and no one kept count. After dinner came | games in the library, with nuts and | cider to help along the fun, and the | day ended in a halo of bliss, 1 phat night Janet wrote the whole '/ story to her mother, finishing with, | “and now I know what a real Thanks- "| giving means, It means making oth- | ers thankful—Brooklyn Eagle. Additional Claim for Turkey. ‘The great American bird, descend ed from the Phoenix of old, has a way pecullar to itself of turning up at state ed intervals, It 1s indeed possible that the ancients when they wrote about the fowl that rose triumphant from the ashes, made a hitherto um Alscovered reference to the Thanks giving turkey. Of cousse, there 1s @ gaping hole in this argument, because the ancients had no Thanksgiving day nor yet turkeys, but that 1s a matter for theorists to fuas about.
